Extremism in the defense of kids is no vice. I speak as an attorney who has prosecuted and defended thousands of cases. I see cases in court all of the time. The PC couple that allows the teenage boy next door to baby sit only to find out he’s molesting their son. The Boy Scout volunteer who has no kids who molests Boy Scouts. At my elementary school decades ago, we had TWO men in the entire facility, the principal (at a time when few women were principals) and the PE teacher. 99% women, and that’s the way it should be, at least until middle and high school. I know there are exceptions, but if I saw a guy VOLUNTEERING in an elementary school, my alarm bells would be ringing loudly.
Many many schools contain pedophiles. It’s hard to convict them. The one who abused me was a school principal. He got caught eventually, copped a plea to something minor (he was arrested on multiple counts with multiple victims as young as 3), and never spent one night in jail. A guy who had an extra beer might have done harder time.
I understand what you’re saying, and that is somewhat true, BUT I still say you’re painting with too broad a brush. Maybe you have refined your statement to VOLUNTEERING?
I know a handful of men, and a couple when they were teenagers, who were excellent babysitters because they were the eldest boy in a fairly large family. They grew up to be excellent fathers.
As I said, too broad a brush.
I agree to disagree with you if that’s what you wish. You won’t convince me otherwise from my opinion. One of the men that I refer to is my oldest brother, who was one of the best men this world has ever seen, and who I recently lost. Your statement attempts to make my big brother into a pervert, which he was NOT.
